Named after the approximate time that David Acevedo
passed away. An alternate version of this was reproduced in grayscale
on the cover of the YLEM newsletter, Volume 14 No. 8 August 1994. This
was initially created with the PC-based Targa paint system (TIPS), with
the 3D geometry rendered with the Cubicomp. In the middle 1980s the Cubicomp
was one of the first powerful 3D modeling systems for the desktop computer.
Later on parts of the image were modified on the Mac with Photoshop. For
instance the quasi-cubist treatment of the still life in the lower left
corner.
Acevedo: This was around the time
that I switched over to the Mac. The young woman in the picture always
reminded me of a blind-folded Mona-lisa image, also referencing those
funny old-fashion adult magazines that had tape over the people's eyes
to obscure their identity.
